I am new here. Late to riding but loving it. My first bike is a 2002 MG CA Special Sport. I want to keep it looking as good as when I got it. The plastic side covers and small plastic chromed pieces are now breaking loose and the chrome film is wrinkling and peeling. Along with this the motor seems to have been painted with a flat black over a gloss black and is also peeling. Any suggestions for repairing the tabs and the chromed plastic?

The plastic side covers are made of ABS, and you can get a solvent weld liquid to repair this from model shops. The one I use is calles Plastic Weld, but I'm sure there will be an equivalent where you are.It works very well, though sometimes you have to give a little extra support to the repair, and again the models shops also sell sheet ABS which you can cut and weld onto the back of the panel where it's not seen.The liquid is easy to use, and wicks into small cracks too, repairing them more or less invisibly.
